| In "Arab Horses Fighting in a Stable," his version of the subject, Delacroix was able to synthesize the classical with the exotic, with his studies of ecorche (French for flayed bodies), with the example of English art, and with the work of Rubens--Delacroix owned Pieter Claesz Soutman's engravings of Rubens' paintings of hunts. Most artists, in any case, are ecorche specialists--curiosity seekers of the latent, closet neo-Platonists obsessed by appearances that constantly disappoint, perennially stripping the surfaces off materials to see how they work, engaged, despite all disavowals, in a hunt for their version of the beautiful. After noting that the ecorche method of analysis had been absent from the artistic and scientific scene for more than the last 100 years, the author, a medical illustrator and physician, has revised and enhanced this method using modern photography. |
